When Ge Hong heard this, he was really shocked by Shen Zhezi's remarks, and for a while he couldn't even express his attitude of agreement or opposition, and only echoed in his mind the sentence "Heaven and earth are added by their own power", which was difficult to calm down for a long time.

In fact, Shen Zhezi's words are not alone, especially recently Ge Hong has had the opportunity to read all the old books, read more old chapters, and his understanding of the Taoist scriptures has become more and more profound. But it is the first time Ge Hong has heard such a grand and accurate proposal, which can no longer be called a view, but a new and very likely self-contained perspective!

In fact, Ge Hong has been confused and confused recently, although he is also a well-known little immortal master in Jiangdong, but in such a short period of time, he has received such a large number of classic impacts from the Central Plains, and the whole person's cognitive system has been cracked due to the sudden growth, and there is no lack of self-contradictory pain.

Although it has gained a wide range of knowledge, its original perceptions have also been frequently shaken and challenged. The reason why he is obsessed with the compilation of Taoist canons is that in addition to wanting to curb the erosion of the Heavenly Master Dao by the Shen family, he also hopes to be able to sort out his own knowledge and cognition, and he may not have the ambition to gather the strengths of all families and set a precedent.

After all, the path of immortals is ethereal and difficult to find, and although the path of cultivation requires birth, the preaching must enter the world.

However, these metaphysical theories that he came into contact with were also passed down by his ancestors for a long time, and many of them had already grown to the point of deep roots and self-contained systems, and it was not easy to mix them together. Previously, he planned to use the Confucian Compendium of Laws and Rituals as a neutralization, and he was willing to talk to Shen Zhezi for so long, hoping to be slightly inspired.

But he didn't expect that what Shen Zhezi gave him was not just inspiration, it was simply a feeling of sudden enlightenment! Since blending old bottles is so difficult, why not start anew and make a new brew?

However, it is still a little thin to complete the construction of a theoretical system based on such a sentence, but even if Ge Hong is knowledgeable, it is difficult to digest it and extend it in such a short period of time.

Although Ge Hong has prejudices against Shen Zhezi, he must also admit that he is quite wise, and since he is so sure, he must have gained something in this regard.

Ge Hong is now in a stage of confusion and confusion, especially stuck in such a delicate moment that seems to understand or not, and it is even more difficult to remain reserved, and after his emotions have calmed down a little, he is impatient to say: "All things in heaven and earth are added by their own power, this theory is grand and far-reaching, I don't know if the governor can try it for a while." ”

"I just got a little bit of it, so I asked my husband to try it out, how can there be privacy."

Originally, Shen Zhezi thought that in the field of chemistry that Ge Hong was good at, there would probably be more places to explore, but he really knew little about it, and he could only extend it from the place where he was quite familiar: "Everything begins with the way of mixed elements, and if there is no magic power to apply, it will exist in the state of mixed elements for a long time......"

When Ge Hong heard this, he was slightly stunned at first, and Shen Zhezi thought that he hadn't heard it clearly, so he changed his expression: "I take the state of matter as a mixture, and the external force as the wonderful work, that is, everything must remain in a straight or stationary state until the external force is applied." ”

"Why don't you talk about what you don't have? External forces are moving and the mixed element is gone? Does that mean that if you can get rid of the external force, then the mixed element can be restored? ”

Shen Zhezi was still thinking about how to express it to be more understandable, but when he heard Ge Hong's own interpretation and extension, he suddenly felt an eye-opener. It is no wonder that the little immortal master has been famous for thousands of years, and he is really profound, and everything can be incorporated into his own system. But Newton's first law, which is the cornerstone of mechanics, is interpreted in such a reversal, and it always feels strange.

For Shen Zhezi's feelings, Ge Hong has no time to pay attention, or there is no tacit understanding between each other's thinking and concerns. Shen Zhezi suddenly said such a sentence, which only made him feel abrupt, but after reacting, he felt that this sentence seemed to be quite subtle.

Moreover, Shen Zhezi's sentence is very different from the scriptures he has read in the past, it is too straightforward and firm, there is no mystery and mystery, and it can be easily refuted by just being able to cite counterexamples. Therefore, he didn't quite agree with Shen Zhezi's straightforward and precise expression, and felt that it was not as natural as having this kind of mystical concept.

But he also knew that Shen Zhezi's temperament was not lacking in arrogance, and since he dared to express it like this, then it was impossible for this sentence to be questioned at all? Abandoning external forces and turning against the Tao is also a not new saying, so its real mystical significance lies in this process of abandoning external forces?

"Stillness is the realm of withering, and I call it the realm of freedom in a straight line at a constant speed, which is the posture of the Dao realm that is appreciable to the human eye, of course, this is the Tao and the object. As for the way of others, there are many extraordinary gestures, which I cannot win, but only true moral people such as Mr. can make a detailed statement. ”

When Ge Hong opened his mouth to make an interpretation, Shen Zhezi realized that the rhythm was no longer under his control, and the depth of the little immortal Weng's accumulation in metaphysics had really reached the level of accepting all rivers and intolerable things.

As he spoke, he put a cup on the paper that was spread on the bookcase, then pulled out the paper suddenly, pointed to the cup that remained in place, and said with a smile: "Isn't this a kind of Taoist existence? A spoonful of food, a scoop of drink, in the alleys, people are unbearable, and they do not change their pleasures, this is the inertia of things, the inertia of virtue. What I say may be short, but heaven and earth are extreme, and everything is outside of it, and there is no fear of criticism. ”

Ge Hong was still thinking about the deep meaning of this simple remark, and when he heard Shen Zhezi say this, he couldn't help but feel a little competitive, and he also wanted to cite a counterexample to refute Shen Zhezi, but he couldn't find any suitable example for a while, so he just said in a deep voice: "Wu Jing can still be understood, but if you say that you don't change your way at a straight speed, this is really unbelievable......

"Mr. Fei thinks that everything standing still is an ordinary and easy to obtain situation? Why do I have to do something good with my words? Such an ordinary thing can only be supported when it is placed on the table, and if there is no support below, it will fall to the ground. It can be seen that even if the eye does not see, this thing has been forced by external forces, and it is only by counteracting that it can be quiet. ”

When Shen Zhezi said this, his tone was already a little excited: "With this kind of hard work, everything is irrelevant, according to what Mr. sees, can it be said in addition to the sages?" ”

When Ge Hong heard this, his demeanor changed again, and as a senior religious person, he couldn't help but feel more deeply about this.

Shen Zhezi's few simple words seem to be nothing peculiar, but if they can really talk about everything, this can be called a shortcut. Although it always seems strange to use things to convey the Tao, if people are really involved in the so-called wonderful external forces, this is to speak of their personal feelings, which naturally has great significance.

Seeing that Ge Hong was in deep thought, Shen Zhezi was no longer in a hurry to speak.

Newtonian mechanics and a few laws alone can hardly have a significant impact on society if they only exist in isolation. The reason why Shen Zhezi wanted to discuss with Ge Hong was also to find some theoretical support. Once there is support in this area, there is potential to continue to promote and extend the excavation. If there is no soil, it is difficult to stand alone.

Even the Eastern transmission of Buddhism had to make a makeover, make peace with Confucianism and Taoism, and absorb and accept various elements that originally existed in this land to strengthen their adaptability.

And Ge Hong, or Heavenly Master Dao, is a mother plant that Shen Zhezi chose to graft, although he doesn't know what the laws of mechanics mixed with Xuandao theory will develop in the future.

There are so many examples of trying to take advantage of the fire and not trying to make the fake come true, and a flawed starting point may not lead to a good outcome, and a noble motive may not always succeed.

The significance of Newton's first law is not something that can be erased by some distorted interpretations, but first of all, the important concept of inertia is proposed, and thus the importance of measuring this behavior is derived, which is also a starting point for physical research. With such a starting point, there is a cornerstone for subsequent development.

If the current Heavenly Master Dao already had a huge doctrinal system of the so-called modern religion in later generations, Shen Zhezi would not be too involved in it. However, today's Heavenly Master Dao is still in a mature stage of development, and it is still in the stage of absorbing and accommodating various existing views and theories.

For Shen Zhezi, the significance of Newton's first law also lies in the scientific concept of "falsifiability". That is, I can prove that your laws are correct through theory and practice.

This should be a dividing point between science and metaphysics, no matter how great Newton's laws are, they will definitely prove their limitations at some point in the future, but God said that there should be light, and this sentence cannot be confirmed for thousands of years. Mistakes are not terrible, but what is terrible is attachment and inability to distinguish.

Obviously, in a short period of time, Ge Hong still can't digest everything Shen Zhezi said tonight, and Shen Zhezi doesn't have time to wait like this, after all, there are still wives and children waiting for the hot kang head at home.

So seeing that Ge Hong was still bowing his head and groaning, Shen Zhezi said again: "Actually, I took the liberty to come to see Mr. Disturb today, not for strange talk, but just to invite Mr. to share the labor." To the north moved many skilled craftsmen, many of whom have the ability to create, and many of them are treasures that can solve the difficulties of manpower.

If these people are only used as servants, they will really fail their talents. Therefore, I plan to gather them in the workshop, so that they can make full use of their abilities and use them for the benefit of the people. I want to ask Mr. to do it for me, so I happened to make an interesting argument to arouse Mr.'s curiosity. ”

"You're always too clever and dishonest."

The shock caused by this night's hearing was so great that Ge Hong had not yet fully digested it, and his attitude towards Shen Zhezi was much kinder, but he still shook his head and said: "I also know how good the governor is, if he can share the labor, he doesn't dare to refuse." But the use of mechanical engineering is really not my strength, and it is also a vain position to be in his position, and I really dare not admit it. ”

"Seiko machinery is the best way to reflect the mixture of wonderful skills, don't you want to witness with your own eyes whether my current interest theory is true or false?"

Shen Zhezi asked with a smile again.

Ge Hong was slightly stunned when he heard this, although he hadn't spoken yet, his eyes had already flickered faintly. To be honest, he is really curious about what step he can achieve in the way of allegorical Taoism, just the certain law that Shen Zhezi said, if there are a large number of facts to corroborate, it may not be a direction for him in confusion.

In the end, he still sighed: "At the moment, everything is entangled, and I really don't dare to say anything." I also ask the Metropolitan Governor to allow me to weigh it for a few days, and no matter what the trade-offs are, I will never dare to delay the implementation of the Metropolitan Governor's administration. ”
